Seventy years ago today, Transylvania University welcomed quite the VIP for its library dedication and kickoff of a yearlong celebration of the school\u2019s 175th anniversary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

President Dwight D. Eisenhower addressed a crowd in front of Old Morrison as part of a three day terquasquicentennial convocation<\/a> themed “Priorities in a Confused World.\u201d He also attended a tea in the new library with its namesake, Frances Carrick Thomas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It is my unique privilege and honor to bring to this gathering a salute from the national government on the 175th anniversary of the founding of this institution,” Eisenhower said in his speech. He went on to discuss the value of American ideals and mentioned Henry Clay, a noted statesman and Transylvania faculty member. Eisenhower also reflected on what a previous speaker at the event \u2014 Charles Allen Thomas, a 1920 alumnus and president of Monsanto \u2014 had said about how science can be used for good or harm (e.g., the atom bomb).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Listen to Ike’s speech<\/a>, or read the transcript<\/a>. Recent Transylvania President John N. Williams \u201974 was actually there<\/a>, but he doesn’t remember because he was only two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also during Eisenhower\u2019s trip to Lexington, he was presented with a drawing of the famous thoroughbred Man o’ War by Transylvania alumnus Joe Petro ’53, who studied under artist-in-residence Victor Hammer. (Petro went on to design the U.S. Postal Service’s \u201cMy Old Kentucky Home\u201d stamp celebrating the state’s bicentennial.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eisenhower wasn’t the only national leader to attend a Transylvania library event. Forty years ago, then Vice President George H.W. Bush participated in the groundbreaking for the J. Douglas Gay Jr. addition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
